It makes more sense that these stones were cut and fitted precisely using 3 or 4 stones at a time. After tailoring the stones to fit together, they were moved to their destination to be reassembled.

[gavinhill]

If you heated them until they were molten, i believe you would cause an observable change in structure. Just cut one open and look for signs

[brendanshimizu]

this is so stupid. Geology major here, igneous stones form after cooling underground for long periods of time before being exhumed due to tectonic processes. if you were to "melt" these stones at their boundary, the result would not be the same stones. it would be a glass like rock, like obsidian or pumice. You cannot melt this type of rock at earth surface pressure/temperature and have it reform to be the same rock as what was melted. there would be glass (technical definition: non-crystalline amorphous solid) at the boundaries. And there clearly is not. Stating thigns with confidence does not make it true

Edit: As noted in replies below, this is a geopolymer concrete. The blocks could have been moulded to fit each other. The reasoning in the video is incorrect, but for different reasons than I thought. It is an example of Occams razor; where the most likely explanation is the one that requires the least amount of assumptions. Rather than an ancient civilization having the means and capabilities to melt rock in order to fit large blocks together, it is more likely that the builders moulded concrete blocks to fit one another. Technology we are aware that they and other ancients had the capacity to do.

They're polymer stones like modern concrete.
They likely shaped them before the stones completely hardened.

[kellyhh]

A petroligist could check for this relatively easily. What you have described would have affected the stones crystal structure.

[johnny]

Here's a theory. We live in a simulation. These structures were built by the architects throughout history. Back when cool shit happened like gods and dragons and what not. Someone forgot to terminate the simulation about 2000 years ago and we've been running unattended since.

[IconicPortal]

Watching people use their modern informational framework to come up with rudimentary notions about how this was done, is endlessly entertaining

[desiregibbs]

1) wouldn't have straight lines if the stone would be soft as dough. 2) if the suspended block would be in a near liquid state when suspended, as you say, the protruding stumps would not be able to hold up the weight of the block, as you describe it.

[rickelectric]

Actually they had special lasers that could temporarily turn the stones to play-doe!

[scottlund]

Likely would notice a change in color depending on type of stone. FCR (fire cracked rocks) archeology is a fantastic rabbit hole.

[imintheraindripdripdrop]

They probably used an old masonry technique that's still used today. Where they use red clay to reveal high points in the stone and work them down on each side till they are perfectly interlocking. They obviously took the technique much further in order to the results that we see. But they had the manpower and time to do so.

[christmassnow]

If that is true, the contact area would be squeezed under the weight of the stone and spill outwards. It's something like squishing out the glue between two wooden pieces pressed together with clamps. I think it's more like inserting a file between two stones to create two matching surfaces, removing the file and then pushing the stones together. Again, this is just my speculation.

[domestique]

No, it’s chiseled.
They looked closer and found metal particles from the tools

[jzeerod]

hmm.., when you consider any solution at all, you must include the fact that the quarry stones unprepared unfinished rock compared the existing finished stones, the finished stones have 2% more silica suggesting a geopolymer, which is more likely a process of grinding, or carving these stones after reconstituting them, fitting them while they are still pliable and soft, then carving away the signs of a slump.
whats amazing is that the H blocks at olyatumbo are so finely fitted, they could be a steam engine made to do work. the evidence is the fact they have a round flywheel type stone complete with hole in the middle. the H blocks are such tight tolerances it is not without a doubt they could in fact fit together something that would hold steam.

[williamhanley]

Also note how the stones curve inwards. They did melt them . There's no other way.

[starryeyed]

This is called natural cement. Look it up.... it's used for restoration etc...

[Jooligan]

I don't think many people really appreciate how incredible these constructions are.

[guty]

There are two concerns, bringing to that high temperature the block could break. If not, the section that reaches almost liquid state will become like obsidian

[jeremyhansen]

I like how even the most popular ideas and opinions of how it was created still have massive gaps in information like how would they be able to heat it up that much, how did they move it while hot and how did they stack them to begin with?

[jamesvaughan]

Is that blocks of stone or a solid stone wall that has radical grout lines engraved ? Can you walk around and see the back side of the wall ????
